Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Old-Fashioned, creamy chicken noodle soup that is homemade, good for body and soul and ready in about 40 minutes. I was going to say 30 minutes but didn’t want to pressure you (totally doable in 30 minutes though!). Yup, you read that right; 30 – 40 minutes! Originally posted on January 31, 2016 :) ...

Chicken Tetrazzini with Tomatoes
Chicken Tetrazzini with Tomatoes This is a hearty casserole that has been lightened up! Traditionally from what I’ve read, chicken tetrazzini has almond slivers but I don’t like almond slivers so mine doesn’t. Again, this looks daunting but this dish is really so very easy. Ideally you’ll use left over chicken or turkey which is really a bonus, I ...

Jambalaya Pasta
Jambalaya Pasta The elusive writer's block. I've heard of writer's block, thought it was fake to be honest. I'd had something similar to it in university when I didn't feel like writing an essay. Here. it. is. I have so many new recipes to share but I'm stuck. I'm blocked. It almost sounds like I'm talking digestive ...

Carbonara Pasta Salad
Carbonara Pasta Salad I had the most bizarre realization the other day, you could even call it an epiphany; I've never considered a use for lettuce beyond a salad. I fully acknowledge this is a recipe for a salad but it's a PASTA salad, not a salad salad. Here the lettuce gives a fresh crunch, meant to compliment the creaminess of the dressing ...
Copycat Cheesecake Factory Pasta Da Vinci
Copycat Cheesecake Factory Pasta Da Vinci To be completely honest... I've never been to the Cheesecake Factory, ever. I did however find a recipe that was inspired by a Cheesecake Factory pasta. Sooo, in the event I ever find myself in a Cheesecake Factory I am totally going to order the Cheesecake Factory's Pasta Da ...
Vermicelli and Snow Pea Salad
Vermicelli and Snow Pea Salad Despite the strong ingredients, the best way to describe this warm pasta salad is delicate. The heat from the noodles mellows the garlic and helps the noodles absorb the vinaigrette. The vermicelli (also known as rice sticks) was available in the Asian Foods aisle in my regular grocery store. Since the vermicelli are ...

Rich, soul soothing vegetables mixed with whole wheat pasta; delicious and healthy. No one is going to feel weighed down or yucky ...
Pasta in a Spicy Cream Sauce with Chicken
Pasta in a Spicy Cream Sauce with Chicken This is one of my favourite go-to spicy pasta dishes. I love this recipe and have made it many different ways but really, this is my all time favourite rendition. This recipe is based on a pasta dish I discovered at a cheesy little dive bar years ago. I still crave it! It's cajun-seasoned chicken ...
